tramples its predecessor (thats saying alot)
GRAPHICS: Doesnt at first look too much diffrent and all in all it really isnt.But with some new soflt lighting and HDR (High-Definition Range) they look better just not COD to COD:2 better
GAMEPLAY: Even more fun then the first. the flanking has gotten much harder thanks to the games amazing AI. they find you,pin you down,then go for the kill. If they see that you are heavlly outnumberd they will be much more offensive , and if they are outnumberd they will be much more sneaky and strategic.all game modes are also just a pure bliss to play.ONLINE CO-OP!!!(and offline splitscreen)
SOUND:so close to perfect. but the only thing that bogs it down is Red's voice in battle, its just much to calm for such an intense game.all the gun sounds and ambience has ben greatly improved upon also. Teamates sound very tense and scared,and the choking and cries of the germans is still very much intact :).overall the games mid-point (just for reds calm voice,although not always calm)
VALUE: Depending on how many freinds u can play this with (or if u have xbox-live) its much much longer then the firsts, mostly thanks to the great new co-op addition
OVERALL: Great game......period. isnt the greatest game for players just entering the shooter series. but for anybody who enjoys a good game.. this is one of the best
